Small Group Questions

1. “The Kingdom of God is within reach.” What does that phrase mean to you personally? How does it reshape the way you view Jesus’ mission—and your own purpose—as you go about your week?

2. "Repent and believe." In your own words, what does genuine repentance look like beyond just feeling sorry? Where have you seen God change your heart, direction, or allegiance?

3. "Follow Me." The disciples left their nets “at once.” What “nets” tend to keep people today from fully following Jesus? What might that step of obedience look like in your current season?

4. "Authority and compassion." When Jesus taught and healed in Capernaum, people were amazed at both His authority and His compassion. How can we reflect those same qualities when we engage our families, workplaces, or community?

5. "Restoring awe." The sermon closed with a challenge: When was the last time you were truly in awe? What helps you keep your faith from becoming routine or “ho-hum”? How can your group encourage one another to recover that sense of holy wonder in daily life?
